Here are the five ballot measures NYC voters will decide on

Question 1: Fast-track affordable housing review processes
This proposal seeks to speed up the city’s approval processes for some affordable housing projects.

Question 2: Simplify review of smaller housing and infrastructure proposals
This proposal aims to speed up and simplify the review process for small-scale housing and infrastructure projects.

Question 3: Create an affordable housing appeals board
This measure would create a new appeals board — consisting of the mayor, the local borough president and the City Council speaker — that would review Council decisions that reject or change applications to create affordable housing.

Question 4: Create a centralized digital city map
Currently, New York City’s official map — which includes street layouts and address assignments — exists in paper form across five separate borough offices.

Question 5: Move city elections to presidential years
This measure would shift city elections, including mayoral and City Council primary and general races, to coincide with presidential election years, but only when state law permits it.
